Technology Facilitator Standard I: Technology Operations and Concepts Reflections

This standard is one of the most important standards to be familiar with as an educational technology leader. It is important to know some of the basic hardware devices, computer components, common features of operating systems, proper care and maintenance, troubleshooting techniques, and basic networking and infrastructure concepts. These basic skills should be taught to other teachers not in isolation, but as we begin to lead teachers to integrating technology into their classrooms. This was evident as we created a PSA in 5363 Multimedia and Video Technology class. We had learn to use new hardware at the same time we were creating the PSA. We communicated through a wiki and together we learned about resources were available and compatible depending on each of our different systems.
